Assistant D.A. Savannah Smith, her jealous sister Susan, and society wife Megan Vandermeer are old friends - and sometimes bitter rivals. Then one horrifying night, Megan is kidnapped. Now, Savannah and Susan must move beyond the secrets and mistrust that have stood between them for years and team up to find their friend.


While following a dangerous trail filled with lies and deception, the sisters find themselves mesmerized by two charismatic men. One is Jared Snow, the radio star with the voice Savannah cannot resist. The other is Sam Craig, the tough detective whose rugged sensuality Susan cannot deny.


Shocking revelations will force each woman to reassess her life...and how far she is willing to go for the man she loves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could be HEAT of the Night, April 7, 2003

By

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Heart of the Night (Hardcover)

It was hard to say just who's story this was - so many characters all with depth, strengths and charm of their own - society twin sisters, Savannah the over achiever top attorney and Susan the divorcee socialite; their childhood and best friend Megan raised from blue collar to socialite thru marriage. Then, as always, there are the men in their lives - Sam, the hard nosed, down to earth cop; Will, Megan's loving society husband; and last but not least, Jared Snow - the voice, the heart and the soul in the heart of the night!

This story was impressive showing very successful and dynamic people on the outside and examining the all too human complexities of sibling rivalries, issues of self esteem in the privileged world of the Newport elite! Toss in some really hot and sinfully sensual love scenes as well as a mysterious socialite kidnapping and you have in this, an almost perfect read! This was an extremely fast page-turner that I consider high praise from a die-hard historical romance genre book reader such as myself. This story invoked a lot of feeling here and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to any of those who like to read into the `heart of the night'.

TX. 24FAN (KYLE, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heart of the Night (Mass Market Paperback)

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS BOOK! I THINK EVERY WOMAN HAS IMAGINED WHAT A SEXY SOUNDING DJ LOOKS LIKE. WE HAVE A REAL SMOOTH TALKER HERE IN AUSTIN ON MAIGC 95.5; BARBARA DELINSKY MUST HAVE HEAR HIM WHILE SHE WAS HERE ON TOUR AND CREATED JARED! JARED SNOW IS A WONDERFUL CHARACTER. IF ONLY REAL MEN WERE MORE LIKE HIM! YOU FORGET THAT SAVANNAH AND JARED HAVE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER SUCH A SHORT TIME BEFORE BECOMING DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH ONE ANOTHER. IT ISN'T HARD TO BUY. TO ME, IT WAS HEART WARMING!
THE SISTER RELATIONSHIP IS AWESOME AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH MEAGAN IS COMPLEX. SAM CRAIG IS "REAL" AND FUNNY!
THIS IS AN AWESOME READ. ONCE I PICKED IT UP, I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I AM NEW TO DELINSKY, HAVING ONLY READ FOUR OF HER NOVELS, BUT I AM HOOKED! I LOVE HER STYLE OF WRITING AND ALL OF THE BOOKS HAVE VERY GOOD FLOW. ONCE YOU START...IT IS HARD TO STOP. I'M ON LINE SNATCHING UP EVERYTHING SHE HAS WRITTEN NOW! I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE HAS WRITTEN SINCE THIS, BUT IF IT IS ANYTHING CLOSE TO HEART OF THE NIGHT, I AM SOLD!
